When we got there, a nude guy on a lounge told us we just doubled the occupancy. We got a tour of all room categories, dropped all clothing and got into the pool, and had lunch brought to the swim up bar. Staff could not have been nicer. Other than the cab, there was no additional cost. We are going back to DP for our 8th trip there. BTW, when we are there, all the lower class rooms are sold out. DP definitely has been discovered. If anyone thinks there is no action ay DP, they have not visited the jacuzzi from 5:30 on.
We've been to DP for 3 of the last 5 years and always in late July-early August. It always seems at or near capacity and good times at all venues (beach, pool, disco, hot tub, etc). 4 or 5 prior trips to DRM. We were a bit concerned with the buildup of local resorts around DRM so gravitated toward DP when it opened. Remember fondly the old days of adventuring down the "swamp crossing" to the sparsely populated beach front oasis
Things seem to have settled in nicely at DRM. We do miss the roof top hot tub. The view from it at night (all around) cannot be duplicated
Looking forward to a visit to DRM when at DP in September. We need to "catch up" with the changes....
